The NRPC will be hosting the Kentucky Fire Commission for a two-day skills testing session covering Firefighter I, Firefighter II, Hazard Materials Awareness and Hazardous Materials Operations. The skills testing for Firefighter I and II is a random sampling of all possible skills in each certification level. There are multiple skill possibilities at each station, however, the candidate will only be required to perform 1 skill at each station. 2013 policy changes in the Kentucky process require ten (10) skill stations to be completed by the candidate for Firefighter I with 100% competency. Firefighter II testing will consist of six (6) skill stations with a required 100% competency. Hazardous Materials Operations PPE and Product Control (NFPA 1072:2017 Chapters 5, 6.2 and 6.6) are required pre-requisites for firefighter certification. Four (4) Hazardous Materials skill stations will be offered on the same test day as Firefighter II for the benefit of those needing the required certification. A POLICY CHANGE ON MARCH 1, 2014 PROHIBITS STAND-ALONE HAZ-MAT OPS SKILLS TESTING DURING FF2 TESTING. Candidates must test Firefighter II skills with Hazardous Materials. Candidates needing ONLY Hazardous Materials Operations must test following an organized course of the subject matter OR a scheduled skills test session that consists of ALL Hazardous Materials Operations (NFPA 1072:2017 Chap 5) Operations Product Control (NFPA 1072:2017 Chap 6.6) and Hazardous Materials PPE (NFPA 1072:2017 Chap 6.2). All candidates must be clean-shaven to the point that facial hair does NOT come between the facepiece and the seal.
